ELECTROTHERAPY
• Stimulus delivered by the TENS waveforms of this device,
in certain configurations, will deliver a charge of 25
microcoulombs (µC) or greater per pulse and may be
sufficient to cause electrocution. Electrical current of this
magnitude must not flow through the thorax because it
may cause a cardiac arrhythmia.
• In the event that an Error message or Warning beginning with a 2 or
3 appears, immediately stop all use of the system and contact the
dealer or DJO for service. Errors and Warnings in these categories
indicate an internal problem with the system that must be tested
by DJO or a Field Service Technician certified by DJO before any fur-
ther operation or use of the system. Use of a system that indicates an
Error or Warning in these categories may pose a risk of injury
to the patient, user or extensive internal damage to the system.
Precautionary Instructions (continued)
• The safety of TENS waveforms for use during pregnancy or birth
has not been established.
• TENS is not effective for pain of central origin. This includes
headache.
• TENS should be used only under the continued supervision of a
physician.
• TENS waveforms have no curative value.
• TENS is a symptomatic treatment and as such suppresses the
sensation of pain which would otherwise serve as a protective
mechanism.
• The user must keep the device out of the reach of children.
• Electronic monitoring equipment (such as ECG monitors and ECG
alarms) may not operate properly when TENS stimulation is in use.
